A piece of wire is bent in the shape of a parabola \(y=k x^2\) (y-axis vertical) with a bead of mass \(m\) on it. The bead can slide on the wire without friction. It stays at the lowest point of the parabola when the wire is at rest. The wire is now accelerated parallel to the \(x\)-axis with the constant acceleration \(a\). The distance of the new equilibrium position of the bead, where the bead can stays at rest with respect to the wire, from the \(y\)-axis is

A wooden block performs SHM on a frictionless surface with frequency \(v_0\). The block carries a charge \(+Q\) on its surface. If now a uniform electric field \(\mathbf{E}\) is switched on as shown, then the SHM of the block will be

Paragraph:
The key feature of Bohr's theory of spectrum of hydrogen atom is the quantization of angular momentum when an electron is revolving around a proton. We will extend this to a general rotational motion to find quantized rotational energy of a diatomic molecule assuming it to be rigid. The rule to be applied is Bohr's quantization condition.

An open-ended U-tube of uniform cross-sectional area contains water (density ${10}^3\mathrm{kg}{\mathrm{m}}^{-3}$ ). Initially the water level stands at $0.29\mathrm{m}$ from the bottom in each arm. Kerosene oil (a water-immiscible liquid) of density $800\mathrm{kg}{\mathrm{m}}^{-3}$ is added to the left arm until its length is $0.1\mathrm{m}$, as shown in the schematic figure below. The ratio $\left(\frac{h_1}{h_2}\right)$ of the heights of the liquid in the two arms is

Paragraph:
The nuclear charge \((\mathrm{Ze})\) is non-uniformly distributed within a nucleus of radius \(R\).

A thin rod of mass $M$ and length $a$ is free to rotate in horizontal plane about a fixed vertical axis passing through point $O$. A thin circular disc of mass $M$ and of radius $\frac{a}{4}$ is pivoted on this rod with its centre at a distance $\frac{a}{4}$ from the free end so that it can rotate freely about its vertical axis, as shown in the figure.
